I am heading to Venezuela for a fast-moving breaking-news assignment and need a versatile local partner who can operate as both cameraman and fixer from day one. The story will unfold live, so you must be comfortable running full-broadcast workflows on the fly—think ENG shoulder camera, wireless audio, LiveU pack or equivalent, and a solid grasp of satellite or bonded-cellular uplinks. Your role goes beyond shooting. I will rely on you to: • Supply and transport all production gear—HD camera, tripod, lights, mics, IFB, backups, everything needed for live hits. • Secure locations, permits, and safe access in real time while maintaining situational awareness. • Line up on-the-ground interviews and coordinate local transport, crews, and last-minute logistics. • Deliver a clean, stable live signal plus a recorded safety copy for post. Acceptance criteria • Reliable HD 1080i/50 or 60 live feed with synced audio. • At least two redundant connectivity options tested on site. • Raw ISO files transferred to our cloud within six hours of wrap. • Basic English communication on comms during live segments. If you know the terrain, have your own fully kitted broadcast setup, and thrive under the pressure of breaking news, let’s talk today—the first live cross could happen within 72 hours.

Hi! I’m well suited for fast-moving news production where reliability and speed are critical. I can handle both field camera work and fixer responsibilities, including coordinating locations, interviews, transport, local access, and last-minute logistics. I’m comfortable with professional ENG workflows, wireless audio, live transmission setups, bonded-cellular/LiveU-style uplinks, redundant connectivity, and clean 1080i/50 or 60 feeds with synced audio. I can also manage recorded safety copies and organize raw ISO files for rapid cloud delivery. I understand the pressure of breaking-news coverage and the need for clear English communication during live hits. I’m ready to support the assignment from day one and can discuss equipment, connectivity redundancy, and availability immediately.

The biggest requirement here is not simply finding someone who can operate a camera. This assignment depends on having a local partner who can keep a breaking-news production moving when locations, access, logistics, and connectivity change in real time. Because the first live cross could happen within 72 hours, the production workflow needs to be ready from day one: a reliable 1080 live signal, redundant connectivity tested on location, professional ENG equipment, wireless audio, and a recorded backup for every live hit. Local coordination also matters just as much as the technical setup when securing access, arranging interviews, transport, permits, and last-minute logistics. The key is creating enough redundancy behind the scenes that the live operation remains stable even when the story moves quickly. Which part of Venezuela will the assignment initially be based in, and do you already have a preferred broadcaster or cloud workflow for the live feed and ISO file delivery??
